Okay so I am in the frame calibration phase. After I caught a wild poke I input the ivs, the time I hit continue at the start screen, etc. After I clicked find it says to check my time and date because no initial seed was found. I tried this three times with the same window popping up and saying no initial seed was found. Anyone have any suggestions?

Perhaps check your time or date and see if anything is off or check the stats you entered. There is no problem with the program itself normally, just a user error somewhere.
This has happened to me a couple of times, I've found out that it's just you're entering the wrong date and time or you're just really unlucky:D
I have a problem with flipping the journal...
I'm trying to get something on frame 12, saved at what I'm pretty sure is frame 10. I flip the journal once (not counting its first appearance - so I press A, B, B when the journal appears) and I get frame 11 like 80% of the time, I've gotten 12 a few times. When I flip the journal twice (meaning to the caught Pokemon page and back, twice), I get frame 13.
???
I have fast hatch and IV check codes on btw, if that makes a difference

Clearly, you aren't on the frame you think you are. The first apperance of the journal does count if it has a caught pokemon on it. That means you are on frame 7 most likely, 9 from the journal auto opening, and 11 since you leave the page and come back to it. You may just have bad luck getting the wrong frame when you hit your seed. Just resave and start with a different frame.
yes it will
ok thanks :D
Another question (about breeding shinies though):
If I go to the PC before doing the happiness checker/coin flip taps, will that mess anything up?
Hmm
Machop was caught (LATE NIGHT)
Caught RATICATE (LATE NIGHT)
If so, is there something else messing with my frames? I'm on route 229 in Diamond trying to catch a Gyarados.
Does the (LATE NIGHT) and (DAY) part of these listed matter? For instance, will the RNG still advance by 2 if I have the following:
Machop was caught (LATE NIGHT)
Caught RATICATE (LATE NIGHT)

So that must mean I'm really saved on the borderline between 31 frames and 32 frames.
Making a quick post to let folks know that RNG Reporter 7.00 has been released. I usually don't do this, but I'd like to get the word out that it is now possible to use it to get your SID from (a group of) chained shinies. It generally takes between 4 and 6 chained shinies to work out a SID and they each must be entered and the 'calculate' button pressed. When the program narrows it down to a single possibility, it will display the SID. If the number of possibilities goes down to zero, you have entered something incorrectly and have to start over. It's unforgiving with regards to data entry, unfortunately.
I will have a proper post about this and some proper directions very soon, but wanted to at least put something out there.
PS. If anyone wants to test it out, feel free. I did not have a ton of test data to work with, so it is honestly not extremely well tested.

Wait is there a way to RNG through chaining?
I RNG abuse in both US and Japanese versions just fine.
Pretty sure all of this is posted in the first post in the thread. Please read instead of just asking.
Im not sure about this, but the SEED is gernerated when you enter the game, however it is advised to catch a Pokemon as soon as possible if you want the RNG reporter to be able to check the info. or your seed. If your too late, the RNG will say invalid time and date...something like that anyways! =o
1) FRAME question.. My frame seems to be alternating between 8 and 9 (when it was always 7 before), I just wanted to know what could be causing the sudden jumps and changes?
2) Also, on the Journal Flips, does Defeating a wild Pokemon count as advancing the Frame by 2?
3a) And how about battling a trainer? Examples:
3b) STARLY was defeated (LATE NIGHT).
3c) Beat Shelly at Route 209
